Year 5 and 6 enjoyed their visit to the Balaji Temple in Tividale. In 1995, the Hindus in the region raised money to buy some land and to build Balaji Temple to serve the community. It is built in the style of Tirupthi (meaning 'heaven on earth') which is the most visited temple in India. The Temple is a place of peace and provides space for prayer and meditation. 

India was granted independence in 1947 and ever since, Gandhi and his peaceful methods have inspired people throughout the world. The children enjoyed the visit, and their excellent attention and behaviour was commented on by many.
